Volume II, Issue 31
January 25 - February 1, 1999
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
iewers of Drew Carey's "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" see
a freewheeling style of improvisational comedy based on game set-ups.
Fans of "Saturday Night Live" watch longer-form scenes
in the scripted-through-improv style. Both forms of improv battle
for dominance on the stages of Chicago, reports Newcity's
Ben Winters in "Laugh Tracked." Which style will earn
the last laugh?
Gallery glimpses this issue include "Daughter of the Revolution," in which Tucson Weekly's Margaret Regan praises feminist
icon Miriam Schapiro for mixing "lowly female craft materials
with the exalted stuff of high art." In "A Painter's Work," Austin Chronicle's Sam Martin watches Fidencio Duran's murals take flight at the airport.
Food & Drink shows you where to find cheese steak heaven,
with "Food, Philly Style" from Memphis Flyer's Paul Gerald. Nashville Scene's Kay West essays a pair of
tasty food books in "Eating Words." And British expat Stuart Prestige, writing in Austin Chronicle, notices that
a lot of America's offbeat cuisine tastes suspiciously like poultry,
in "Chicken Exotica."
